EOh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, From the punches and A5kicks The fingernails and the Epricks All the sharp little Ab5knives In the dark pockets of B5life From the bitches and A5bruises From the burden of Eyouth The public hangings and B5stonings Save us from fellow Ab5humans Just give us an Eescape route
